67-year-old patient undergoes successful removal of artificial denture from stomach at Fortis Vasant Kunj
~The entire procedure took 15 minutes to remove the denture from
New Delhi, 12 August 2024: In a life-threatening case, the denture of an artificial teeth was successfully removed from the stomach of a 67-year-old man at Fortis Hospital Vasant Kunj. He had accidentally swallowed the denture while eating food. The team of doctors led by Dr Shubham Vatsya, Senior Consultant - Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Sciences, Fortis Hospital Vasant Kunj assessed the case and removed the denture via multiple endoscopy procedures, where the denture was pushed inside the stomach and retrieved outside the body with the help of Roth net, a device used to remove foreign objects from the body. This entire procedure took 15 minutes, and the patient was discharged the same day in a stable condition.
Upon admission at Fortis Vasant Kunj, the patient had immense pain in his throat and middle of his chest. Upon examination, it was found that the denture was stuck in the patient’s stomach, with injuries and bleeding in his food pipe and stomach area.

Any delay in diagnosis and removal of the denture could have led to multiple life-threatening situations and could also have proved fatal.
Giving details of the case, Dr Shubham Vatsya, Senior Consultant- Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Sciences, Fortis Hospital Vasant Kunj said, “The denture was 15cm in circumference and due to its size, it was difficult to remove it. However, the procedure was conducted under intravenous sedation, and we removed the denture via multiple gastrointestinal Endoscopy (a procedure to diagnose and treat problems in the upper gastrointestinal tract), wherein the denture was pushed inside the stomach and retrieved outside the body with the help of Roth net (a device used to remove foreign objects from the body). The patient was discharged the very same day and is currently doing well. Had the denture been not removed on time, it could have led to multiple life-threatening situations – such as stomach or intestinal perforation which could have been fatal.”
